Dear Friends,
I am using a 24" 2.8GHz iMac, running VMWare Fusion and Windows XP SP2. I had recently been uploading some Cisco VPN software on my mac and was having problems uploading the software wirelessly across my Palm Treo 755p mainly from the connection speed. Working with my IT department, we connected the Mac to the net outside the network where I was able to successfully upload the software on the Windows VM.
Now I have reverted the network connections back to what they were on the Windows VM side and I cant seem to get the VM to recognize the Bluetooth Wireless Internet connection on the iMac itself like it used to.
I don't have a problem connecting to the internet via my Treo on the OSX side, I posting now from that connection. I'm sure its something simple I'm missing. I have rebooted the VM just in case, problem still exists "Cannot connect to the internet..."
One note, I had to select "Connect to Network" on the VM to connect to the ethernet connection to download the VPN. It shows disconnected now.
BTW, we are not supposed to have Macs on the network at this time, so if I need net access, unfortunately at this job site, I have to connect to my Treo via Bluetooth to get on the net. I don't have a wired line to get out to the net of my own at this time. I only need occasional access to my database on the network and that is why i got the VPN connection and its the only way they will let me tag my database.
This is the last hurdle I have to get the max out of my iMac and consolidate down to one computer.
Any suggestions are truly welcome.
Sincerely,
David
